Unlike most other privacy tools, Privacy Badger automatically learns what to block over time.

We pre-train Privacy Badger for you so that it already knows about many popular trackers when you first install it. (Visit https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/08/giving-privacy-badger-jump-start to learn more.) But the database isn't fixed: Privacy Badger learns from your browsing.

Edit: To clarify, Privacy Badger starts blocking a domain once it sees that domain perform tracking on three different websites. The idea is to avoid blocking too much, while still protecting your privacy across the Web.

worked well but came with unintended effects: couldn't use my company's jira board (wouldn't load on browser) or PowerApps (got stuck in an authentication cycle. Don't know why this happened for PowerApps and not other Microsoft features such as MS Flow). Couldn't use either with this add-on in my browser so I had to remove

Unfortunately, as you noticed, Privacy Badger may break sites while working to protect your privacy.

The good news is that you shouldn't have to disable Badger completely. When you run into something not working, you could try telling Privacy Badger to leave the site alone by clicking the "Disable Privacy Badger for This Site" button inside Privacy Badger's popup while on the site.

You can also let us know when a site is broken by clicking on the "Did Privacy Badger break this site? Let us know!" button in the popup. This helps us figure out which site fixes we should work on next.

Edit: The Jira issue should be fixed for all users with the next Privacy Badger update.
